Multiple law enforcement agencies are examining incident reports for cases that may be related to the stolen mail, including check fraud, credit card fraud, tax fraud and identity theft.

Victims have been identified in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Hillsborough.

"Right now you may not know you're a victim but if you check your credit report or go on line and something doesn't seem right, notify your local sheriff's office," said Nocco. "It may be connected to this case and we want to be able to help you out."

Chipman is currently at the Land O' Lakes Detention Center on a $10,000 bond.

A female companion, Shelly Johnson, was also arrested in relation to the case, charged with evidence tampering after deputies say she conspired to burn some of the stolen mail in a bonfire.
